Spain and their Soccer is for Real....

You would not believe what
happened to me. I got stuck in the doors of the bus.

So we were getting off to our
stop and the doors opened and I took a step out but while I was in the middle
of getting off the bus the doors close and I was like squished in between two
doors. For a minute I thought the bus was going to start driving again with me
In between the doors. Luckily, I was released, walking away with a couple of
black strap marks on my arms. All is well!

We were teaching this fairly
older lady who was an old investigator. Also, on Saturday there was an
international soccer game with Barcelona playing against Italy... So there was
absolutely no one in the streets. It was almost ghost town! Anyways, we decided
to go past Pepita who is like 80 years old and lives alone. She let us in but
little did we know she was watching the soccer game as well. She didn't want to
turn the T.V. off so she put it on mute. We began talking to her when all of
the sudden the entire city of Elche was blowing horns and yelling, "GOOOOAAAALLLLLL"
and then she freaked out and said "… Forgive me God for interrupting your
words, but I really want to see this goal!..." It was so funny. It was
when Barcelona scored their first goal… I assume Barcelona won? It was
definitely a crazy night here in Elche. Spain and their soccer is for real.

I have truly felt like an
Angel this past week. Or maybe because all our investigators and members have
been telling us so. We got sad news about Guido and Maxi. They were a couple
and they broke up last week so good in a sense because now Maxi could get
baptized. However, she works every Sunday morning from 8 until 3 p.m. So, that
is the reason why she can never come to church. She is just the sweetest lady
you would want to meet. We love her and she wants to come to all the church
activities that we have. We just have to pray and wait that she can find
another job.
